Bug#296111: Inconsistance between manpage and real behavior
Hello. No there is no simple ways to change manpage during install, but I can see at least two ways to fix things: #1: change manpage included in debian package. #2 (more elegant, I think): do as apache maintainer did. I.e. create a symlink ``pure-ftpd - .'' in /etc/pure-ftpd directory. So /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd will be the same as /etc/pure-ftpd.

Bug#296111: Inconsistance between manpage and real behavior
Package: pure-ftpd
Version: 1.0.19-4
Looks like pure-ftpd has a small but boring bug with anonymous ftp:
manpage says:
cite
2. The user connects to an IP address which resolves to the name of a
directory in /etc/pure-ftpd (or a symlink in that directory to a real
directory), and there is an account called ftp (which does not need
to have a valid home directory)
...
2. Create a directory as described in Anonymous FTP and make a
symlink called /etc/pure-ftpd/10.11.12.13 which points to this
directory.
/cite
But in fact pure-ftpd uses /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd/IP.ADD.RE.SS, so
server configured according to manual still doesn't allow anonymouses to
log in. Here is the strace:
